Airport

Kos Airport (KGS)

Welcome to Kos, the second most popular island of the Dodecanese, famous for its historical landmarks, beautiful beaches and rich vegetation. Thanks to its extensive 5,000-year history, and incorporating the influence of many cultures and civilizations, such as Ancient Greeks, Romans, Venetians, medieval Knights and Ottomans, Knights Templar and Ottomans, Kos is an ideal place for those who travel in search of history.

Being dubbed as the "bike island", Kos is a perfect place for enjoying beautiful bike rides, and admiring the splendid landscales of the island through carefree pedalling! The island features a 13km-long bicycle path, extending from Faros beach to Psalidi beach. Nevertheless, if you prefer more rural routes, the island also has you covered, compensating you with a large number of mountain bike paths which are ideal for getting closer to nature.

The landmarks and bike rides are fine, no doubt about it, but what can we say about the island's beaches... the choices are practically endless! Sandy, homely, crowded, isolated, organized, non-organized... there are beaches to suit all tastes, and all are easily accessible. Don't miss out the opportunity to visit some of the finest beaches on the island, such as Kardamaina, Tigaki, Mastichari, Marmari, and Kefalos.

So, pack your bags, book your ticket with SKY Express and get ready for an unforgettable trip to Kos!

history

The history

According to Greek mythology, Kos is the sacred place of Asklepius, god of medicine and healing. The archaeological findings prove that the history of Kos begins in prehistoric times. Minoans settled on the island around 14th century B.C., followed by the Achaeans, and, a few centuries later, the Dorians, who built the ancient city of Kos. The Persians invaded and occupied the island of Kos around 5th century B.C., but were defeated by the Athenians, who regained control over the island after the Battle of Salamis. Hippocrates, the father of Medicine and founder of the first Medical School, was born in 460 B.C. After his death in 357 B.C., the residents of Kos built the Asclepieion to honor Hippocrates and the god Asclepius. In 394 B.C., Kos entered into a new alliance with Athens, and democracy was introduced to Kos. This was a period of great cultural, educational and economic development. In 335 B.C., the island of Kos became part of the Macedonian Empire, and in 82 B.C. became part of the eastern colony of the Roman Empire. Subsequently, in 1204 A.D., Kos was occupied by the Venetians. The Knights of the Order of Saint John, who settled in Rhodes, also assumed control over Kos in 1315 A.D.; in 1522, the island was occupied by the Turks, who ruled it until 1912. Kos was subsequently surrendered to the Italians, Germans, and the British, until finally, in 1948, it was united with the rest of Greece.

ANCIENT_RUINS

Asclepieion

The Asclepieion is an ancient centre of medicine situated 4 kilometers southeast of the city of Kos, after the village of Platani. It was built in the first half of the 3rd century B.C. to honor Asclepius, the god of health and medicine, after the death of Hippocrates, the famous ancient Greek physician. The doctors of this hospital were also priests, and a shrine was also available for those who wanted to pray. The Asclepieion is located on the top of a verdant hill, which offers a great view of the city of Kos and its suburbs. Nowadays, tourists enjoy the pleasant and serene atmosphere of the location, just as the patients did in the centuries gone by.

Ancient Agora

The Ancient Agora of Kos is a majestic excavated site, where many temples, baths, and residential buildings with remains of mosaics, columns and other structures have been uncovered, all of which belong to different periods in history. The Agora used its location right next to the port to its advantage, because it was ideal for both business and traffic in general, to the extent that the Agora became the de facto center of Kos. The Ancient Agora is situated at a prominent position, which provides you with a beautiful scenic view of the island; in addition, if you visit it during the evening or night, you will be given the opportunity to get a taste of the nightlife of Kos, because the Agora is right next to the street with the island's bars.

Neratzia Castle

The castle of the Knights of the Order of Saint John in Kos was built with local stones and remains of previous structures and buildings, and it was erected during the period of the Knights' rule, which lasted for more than two hundred years. The castle's walls are decorated with heraldic insignia, along with a number of columns, bases and architraves from the ruins of the old city. The sight of this wonder of architectural and construction engineering, connected to the main island by means of a stone bridge, fascinates visitors. It is nowadays called Foinikon, which is the Greek word for palm tree.

Pasha Makarouna

The pasha makarouna is one of Kos's intensly delicious treats, which is unfortunately no longer served in all restaurants and taverns of the island, but it is a treat that you ought to definitely try out whenever you find it. It is a food item prepared by the landladies of Kos, and required particular skill and effort, because it involved kneading and stretching a very thin phyllo sheet using the "pitaridoxylo" - the island's version of a rolling pin. The phyllo sheet was afterwards placed on a tray and filled with ground meat and dry mizithra cheese, alternately with each layer of phyllo, until reaching the final layer, which was poured over with broth or milk.

Marmarites

Marmarites are a traditional, unique and very delicious pastry of Kos, which is prepared in the context of an old custom, according to which, the eve of the Epiphany, the landladies at Antimacheia, Kefalos, and Kardamaina, would bake these wonderful little cakes. Nowadays, it wouldn't be far from the truth to say that marmarites are similar to pancakes. Their dough consists of yeast, flour, water, and a little amount of salt - also, occasionally, some mastic - which are baked on a heated marble and served with honey, or sugar and cinnamon.

Tomato Spoon Sweet

Kos's very own tomato spoon sweet is a syrupy pleasure made with the pomodoro tomatoes which are in abundance all over the island. The pomodoro tomato variety can be traced back to the period when the Dodecanese were under Italian rule, and the seeds for this uniquely shaped tomato species were imported from Italy. They grew under the sun of Kos and became a trademark of the island's agricultural industry. The pomodoro tomatoes of Kos are harvested in August, and many locals make them into a spoon sweet, which is prepared by simmering the tomatoes (after removing their seeds and peel), along with blanched almonds, sugar, a little water, a dash of vanilla, and a little lime, to allow the flavours to come together.
